Upgrade will continue to go junior since Spirit reserve rules are pretty much the worst in the industry.

Hmmm, Not pretty much, actually THE worst.

Home run.

Oh I forgot about our amazing reserve rules of how the company can't change our RSV availability period, yet seniority is totally ignored when awarding this. Other companies might be able to change callout, but at least it is paid as a penalty and the original call out time is based on seniority not some random bull****

Yes, I'm salty

Should have seen the reserve system at my last shop. There’s always something worse.

IDK, 4 months as a FedEx CA on Reserve and I've only had 2 of those. You usually just go in, get a sleep room, and sleep thru it.

But we can Drop/Swap/Move our Reserve days. As well as, pickup on our days off.

And pick RA, RB or R-24 per seniority in the Monthly Bid.

Haha..thats the thing...Its not a regional. I don't have to be glad we dont have ridiculous things found at regionals, like Hot Reserve.

Oh man, the day we start measuring our happiness based on what we dont have to do that regional pilots do, the bar gets that much lower. Now I get why so many have a fit when someone says "better than my regional."

Bruh, just go to delta. 2020 starting January, if the world doesn't end, will be a 12-month, 125-a-month hiring push. You'll be well rewarded for short call airport reserve-like living.
